Believe it or not, Pit Bulls are one of the more popular dogs to have as pets. They are loyal, loving, protective, and willing to please their owners. This breed is very intelligent, yet can be quite stubborn at times. The breed doesn't have any health problems that are specifically prone to the breed, like many dog breeds, but these dogs just aren't for everyone.
No matter how great they sound, they're not for the inexperienced.
People who want to own a pit bull needs to have some sort of knowledge in training and socializing dogs and puppies, as these guys can be very stubborn and dominant, at times.
If you have the knowledge and experience, or maybe you're just looking to add another Pitty to your family, consider adoption, as there are many Pit Bulls and mixes available for adoption in animal shelters around the country.
If you're not sure where to start looking, here are a few suggested places to get you started.

When adopting a pit bull or mix, you'll want to make sure that you ask the shelter volunteers and workers all the questions that you need to in order to feel comfortable with the process. If you already have a Pit Bull or another dog breed, you should see if the shelter will allow you to bring your current dog(s) to make sure that they will all get along.
